Yes, because Republicans never do the same. They also don't get a bunch of college students to sign a petition and then change their voter registration information (address and party) using their signatures. They also aren't responsible for hundreds of people who weren't able to vote because, due to the changes, their voting location was changed - without their knowledge.
This happened last autumn to students at the University of Pittsburgh (main campus) who signed a petition to legalize marijuana.
The point is, both major parties (and probably many minor parties) will do everything they can to get votes. Whether that means screwing people out of the right to vote or voting as dead people, they're going to do it. How about next time you show a little class, dignity, and honesty and confront the real problem - voter fraud - instead of twisting it into something that fits your personal political preference.
I didn't know there was a perpetual release form to fill out, but I'm going to have to find it and fill it out so they know.
Luckily, I live about a quarter mile from the nearest person, with nothing but trees, corn and hay fields, and various fauna in between. I'm not too terribly worried about anyone keeping tabs on whether UPS is dropping something off or not. If they're paying that much attention, they'll probably also notice I don't lock my doors either.
That's just the law. Pretty much everyone on campus drinks, and drinks often, regardless of age.
The downside is when the state police and state liquor control board show up at a party and everyone bolts like they're on fire. In fact, my senior year, PLCB raided a frat party. People started jumping off the third story balcony to get away. There were crazy broken/sprained legs that day. But, I guess a broken bone or torn ACL is a small price to pay for a clean record...provided you can stagger away after you land.
Still one of the funnier sights I ever saw. It was like the building was on fire, or a bunch of lemmings scurrying off a cliff in a big long line. Craziness.
I posit the notion that PLCB raids cause more harm to the health of minors than alcohol. Stopping a college student from drinking is like stopping a college student from fucking. It isn't going to happen any time soon, if ever.
If only I could get FedEx or UPS to leave the fucking box. They always come when I'm at work. I live in the middle of nowhere. Just put it on the fucking porch! I hate having to call them and run into the UPS/FedEx office and picking my package up 2 days after they first tried to deliver. Hell, even if I sign the fucking slip and tape it to the goddam door, they still can't be bothered to leave the fucking thing.</rage>
It's all about results. Of course, then it boils down to "who is responsible for those results", but our company is filled with people who are all about putting project goals and team goals ahead of personal success. On the current project I'm on, we just hired a lady who was previously from IBM. She constantly enthuses on how there is zero backstabbing or "credit-taking" at my company, in stark contrast to IBM. There, apparently, everyone has to state loudly and often what they were responsible for accomplishing. Where I work, your coworkers do that for you. I've never once seen someone take credit for something another person has done where I work. People who can't do the job generally dont' make it past their probation period. Afterwards, they will be let go if they don't live up to expectations.
Actually, I let my work speak for me. The only people who know I stay late are the people who sit next to me. I don't even care how late I'm there. I get my job done, whether it takes 2 hours of work or 16 hours of work. It gets done and it gets right. Luckily, our company is structured so that the two things that matter are a: coworkers (that you work hand-in-hand on a project with, usually side by side), and b: project success. So when our project gets a follow-on contract for a few million and a glowing "exceeds all expectations" survey from our client, it makes all of us look good with management, especially the developers. So make all the wild, assinine suppositions you want. You're fast proving that you're a moron, so it doesn't really matter one way or the other.
OR I could spend 10 hours a day at work, work at my leisure, and still do my fucking job. I have a very specific set of tasks to do. I do them. I go above and beyond them. But I'm not going to kill myself over any job. My managers are thrilled with my performance. So sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.
It is, however, an assumption that may likely be correct.
That's why I wanted to point it out. The initial author may very well be right in the long run, but it is important to admit assumptions such as these when making generalizations. Maybe I'm just a stickler for this sort of thing, but when I read something that doesn't admit potentially incorrect assumptions (as all assumptions are) and makes a statement, it strikes me more as dishonest propaganda than an interesting point.
I don't trust you, because you make the assumption that the software engineering practices are the exact same. You can never completely remove all security holes. But you can reduce them. I'm not saying Mozilla does a bad job at all, but to automatically say that KDE is just as bad, but doesn't have the userbase to expose it, isn't logical. It may be right, but there are other factors to consider; factors which you don't seem to pay any attention to.
I disagree. It's much harder to clean the code after it's already implemented and integrated. Do it right the first time and you don't have to worry about it later. In the mean time, you have a stable, secure product that people can rely on, even if they don't have the latest and greatest features.
Why is this necessarily a fight? Why don't the Konquerer developers just say "you're ugly" and proceed to ignore the other guy? He can have his opinion, they can have theirs, and it's completely useless to argue about it. As a general rule, people don't like being told what to do, especially after they've made an informed decision.
93mph isn't all that fast, though. I don't start getting nervous until I'm around 110mph. Of course, this depends on zero traffic and zero rainfall. Then I drive like an old grandma.
I figure if I wreck going that fast, that's my fault and I'll pay for it. Big deal. But I'm not going to take someone else with me:|
So? Don't you ever just want to MAKE something with your own two hands? That's what drives people like this. The whole "do it yourself" thing. It doesn't matter how much it costs. What matters is that you're enjoying doing it.
Very nice job on his part. And people say blogs aren't journalists? This is one of the best cases of investigative reporting that I've ever seen. Just because you don't have the degree or work at the paper doesn't mean you can't do the job.
And this has one of two possible outcomes. Yahoo's music service bombs or people start buying players other than the iPod. If someone could create a (relatively) sexy iPod replacement and couple that with an easy-to-use store, it would definitely bring competition to the digital music world. Competition is good; lower prices and striving for better services (or other quirks) to lure customers away from their competitors...the only downside is being locked into one particular format over the other. Personally, I like AAC more, but since Apple seems hell bent on never letting others use the same format...
Oh, I should note that Launch won't work with anything other than IE without extensive tweaking. I believe you can install ActiveX for Firefox and get it to work that way, but that seems like an all 'round bad idea to me. I'd rather use IE just for launch and know that Firefox is still secure on other sites.
Obviously, non-Windows users are kind of screwed. 'Tis sad.
Don't write Yahoo off so quickly. I've been had a subscription to their Launch service for the last year, and I love it. I get to hear new bands I've never heard before and I'm not stuck with commercials or music genres I don't even like. Yahoo did a great job with Launch, so I don't see why they would do a horrible job with another music service.

Excuse me, the main campus hit by this in PA was IUP, not Pitt. Pitt was also hit, but apparently not as much.

Don't worry. There's a lot of space out there.

Because a lot of us are behind restrictive firewalls at work and can't use BT. It's sad. :(
I wonder how hard it would be write an extension that immediately closed any site that disabled greasemonkey.
You can disable it in my browser for your site, and I can tell you to go fuck yourself. Isn't freedom grand?

What does it matter if they fix it and we don't have it? I don't care whether it's fixed for them, I want it fixed for me.

It turns out I was, but at the time, I was a lot less informed and didn't make the distinction betwixt the two. Hooray for Google. :]
It's very good. You won't be sorry. Just don't watch the first few minutes.
Very nice job on his part. And people say blogs aren't journalists? This is one of the best cases of investigative reporting that I've ever seen. Just because you don't have the degree or work at the paper doesn't mean you can't do the job.
We have that day every day.
